Chapter 86: Cousin Shen Mu
"Madam, the eldest lady is here."
A little maid in Shi'an Yuan walked into the house quickly to report, and with a little joy in her words, she saluted the woman in the house and said.
The woman was wearing a light green silk shirt, about thirty-four or five years old, she looked well-maintained, her complexion was delicate, her eyebrows and eyes were full of heroism, and Feng Chujiu's appearance was seven points similar to her.
When the woman who was half-leaning on the beautiful woman's collapse heard the little maid's words, she fell asleep at all, sat up happily, and said:
"Let Miss in!"
As soon as the words fell, a person walked in from outside the door, it was Feng Chujiu, with a smile on her face, she walked to the woman's side, and half-knelt in front of her:
"Mother!"
"Chu'er is back, let my mother see, have you lost weight."
That woman is Feng Chujiu's biological mother, Xu Yingyu, the wife of the General's Mansion, who is also raising her hand to caress her daughter's face at this moment, her eyes are full of distress:
"My son has lost weight again, how can I go on like this?"
"Mother, daughter is fine, don't worry."
Feng Chujiu also obediently held his mother's hand and signaled her not to worry too much about herself.
"Chu'er, the world is impermanent on the battlefield, and my mother is always worried at home, worried that Chu'er will be hurt."
Xu Yingyu said, her eyes were overflowing with tears, and she almost wanted to cry when she looked at Feng Chujiu.
"Mother, my daughter is really fine, this time my daughter repelled them with fewer enemies before the reinforcements arrived."
Feng Chu Jiu raised a smile, and there was a feeling of asking Xu Yingyu for credit.
"Okay, good, Chu Er is really amazing."
Xu Yingyu really held back her tears, smiled and touched her daughter's hair, and was looking at her, when her eyes suddenly changed, her face changed, and her trembling hand touched half of Feng Chujiu's cheek:
"Chu'er... What's going on with your face? ”
“… Mother..."
Feng Chujiu chuckled in his heart, how could he forget that the swelling on his face had not been completely eliminated, and he was actually discovered by his mother:
"My daughter accidentally bumped into it, it's fine."
Feng Chujiu grabbed his mother's hand without a trace and pulled her hand off his face.
"Your dad beat you again, didn't he?"
Xu Yingyu's face sank, her tone was slightly cold, and she seemed to ask her, but it was actually an affirmation.
“…”
Feng Chujiu knew that he couldn't hide it from Xu Yingyu, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
"Why did you do it this time?"
Xu Yingyu suddenly became angry, but she still asked softly in the face of her daughter, but there was a little trembling between the words:
"Chu'er, you tell your mother the truth..."
"I..."
Feng Chujiu looked up at her mother, saw that she looked serious, hesitated, she naturally knew her mother's character, if she didn't tell her the truth, maybe she would question her father, after thinking about it, Feng Chujiu opened his mouth and said:
"My father thinks... The daughter didn't do well this time, and the daughter was not convinced, so she confronted her father, and the father was angry and beat his daughter..."
"Not good enough? Heh..."
Xu Yingyu sneered:
"It's just that he hasn't won a battle with fewer enemies, Chu Er, you say... Did he detain the talisman again? ”
"This..."
Feng Chujiu didn't expect Xu Yingyu to guess a seven, seven, eighty, eight, or eight as soon as he guessed, and his expression suddenly froze on his face, what should I say?
"I knew it."
Xu Yingyu sighed:
"Before leaving, I said that I would win the battle this time, and I would hand over the talisman to you, but when you came back, I began to pick and choose...
To put it bluntly, isn't it just reluctant to give up his rights? I really underestimated him, my daughter can't believe it? Or do you know what your heart is like to your daughter? ”
As she spoke, Xu Yingyu became angry, her smile disappeared completely, and she gritted her teeth a little.
Yes... The last time I went to the border pass, Feng Wenhan told himself that if he won the battle this time and made meritorious contributions, he would give himself the talisman when he came back, and then he would be able to dispatch soldiers at will, and he would not be so restricted.
But when he really came back, he suddenly changed his face again, was he afraid that he would no longer listen to him after taking the talisman? Even Feng Chujiu himself was a little confused.
But she didn't care much about this talisman, after all, the talisman is in her father's hands, which means that it is still something from the General's Mansion, and the things at home are kept in anyone's hands.
But her father's approach apparently refreshed her mind: it turned out that he was on guard against himself.
Feng Chujiu lowered his eyes, looked at Xu Yingyu lowered his body a little, and said softly:
"Mother, my daughter is not qualified enough, maybe my father tested me, maybe I will give it to my daughter in a few days, mother, don't be angry."
Xu Yingyu, like her daughter, doesn't mean that she cares about the ownership of the talisman, but her attitude is really disappointing.
Xu Yingyu didn't hear her daughter's words, but the more she looked at her so well-behaved, and then thought of her injuries and hardships, Xu Yingyu was really angry, so she stood up and said fiercely:
"I'll go to him and ask for clarification."
"Mother!"
Feng Chujiu hurriedly grabbed his mother and told her not to be impulsive, otherwise it would be another quarrel...
In the past few years, my mother has often been dissatisfied with my father because of myself, but my father has never paid attention to it, but because my mother is angry every time, and her tone is not very good.
Feng Chujiu knew about this situation, she didn't want their relationship to deteriorate anymore, so she hurriedly stopped it.
"Mother, my daughter is really fine, and if you question your father about this... He, he's only going to hate his daughter even more..."
Feng Chujiu's voice became much weaker as he spoke, and he seemed to be a little reluctant to mention it.
"It's really getting more and more excessive, but there is still our mother and daughter in your eyes?"
Xu Yingyu looked at her daughter's somewhat aggrieved appearance, and she was distressed at the moment, and she cried when she looked at Feng Chujiu:
"Chu'er, you are also his daughter, not a pawn to win glory... How could he be so ruthless? ”
"Mother... I'm fine. ”
Looking at Xu Yingyu's teary eyes, Feng Chujiu didn't feel a good feeling in his heart, and he wanted to comfort but didn't know what to say.
Xu Yingyu suddenly raised her head, with tears on her face, and said with a sneer and emotionlessness:
"If this continues, I might as well reconcile with him! Or he took a letter of resignation and divorced me! lest you look at each other in pairs, and you will only get bored! ”
"Mother! What do you say! When Feng Chu Jiuyi heard this, he was shocked, and he looked up at Xu Yingyu in shock.
“…”
Xu Yingyu was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice outside the door...
"Auntie!"
Xu Yingyu and Feng Chujiu heard this voice, and hurriedly collected their emotions, Feng Chujiu stood up and retreated to the side to sit on the chair, while Xu Yingyu collected her tears, and she was also unhurriedly half-leaning on the beauty couch, looking like nothing happened.
The little maid at the door also came in and saluted and said to Xu Yingyu:
"Madam, eldest lady, the young master is here!"
"Hmm—" The General's wife just nodded faintly.
Then a son stepped into the door, and Feng Chujiu raised his eyes.
I saw that this boy was dressed in a brocade robe, with a green silk and jade belt, echoing the simple bamboo hairpin on his head.
A pair of gentle clear eyes, the evening sunset fell on his body, but there was no trace of redness, and his delicate face only showed a sickly paleness, but it revealed a noble and elegant temperament.
After the boy entered the door, he first glanced at Feng Chujiu happily, then turned his gaze back, walked straight in front of the general's wife, and saluted with his fists:
"Auntie!"
"Well, no need to be polite, please take a seat."
Xu Yingyu also pulled out a smile and raised his hand to let him sit down.
The boy naturally chose the position next to Feng Chujiu, walked over and smiled at her, and sat in the vacant seat next to him.
Feng Chujiu saw his smiling appearance, and had no choice but to say hello:
"Hello cousin."
"Chu'er is getting more and more beautiful."
The boy sat down, but his eyes did not leave Feng Chu Jiu.
"Cousin, you actually said the word beautiful to me?!" Feng Chujiu turned his head and glared at him slightly, pretending to be unhappy.
"Cousin gaffe! Gaffe, describing Chu Er should be, more handsome. ”
The boy didn't care about her attitude either, and seemed to be very happy.
"Chu'er! Don't be rude. ”
Seeing her daughter's attitude, the general's wife couldn't help but remind her.
"Oh..."
Feng Chu Jiu sighed softly, turned his head and stopped talking.
"Auntie, it's all right."
The boy still replied with a smile.
"Mu'er, you usually indulge her too much, so she will treat you no big or small."
Xu Yingyu was also a little helpless when she mentioned this, but she said it with a smile.
It turned out that this son was Feng Chujiu's cousin: Shen Mu.
"Chu Er is like this, which means that she is willing to be close to me, if it is someone else, maybe Chu Er will not want to deal with it."
Shen Mu smiled even more, and glanced at Feng Chu Jiu, who was bowing his head on the side.
Feng Chu Jiu seemed to feel his gaze, looked up at him and quickly stuck out his tongue, a little provocative.
Shen Mu was in a happy mood when he saw her like this, and he laughed when he looked at her.
And Xu Yingyu was not surprised when she saw this scene, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she asked again:
"Mu'er, didn't you go out two days ago, and the business in hand has been negotiated?"
"Ahh My nephew went relatively smoothly this time, so he didn't delay any time, and then he heard that Chu'er had returned to Beijing, so he came over directly. ”
Shen Mu didn't hesitate, and finished explaining without changing his face, without a trace of weakness.
In fact, he directly resigned the next trip, and the business that was not too big was directly discussed by his subordinates, and the bigger ones said that he had been ill recently, and he would discuss it in a few days.
Because Shen Mu's poor health is not a secret, he often seems to be accompanied by a sickly feeling, and he is a well-known "sick beauty".
"Hmm... Mu'er is getting better and better. Xu Yingyu nodded and praised:
"Aunt Praise!"
Shen Mu heard her praise, quickly stood up and bowed and said modestly, and then explained his intentions:
"My nephew actually wants to take Chu'er out for a while, and as soon as dusk passes, the downtown should open.
Chu Er hasn't returned for a long time, and I, as an elder brother, should take her to relax. ”
"It's fine."
Xu Yingyu smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Feng Chujiu again:
"What do you think?"
Feng Chujiu originally went through the things in the dream, and some wanted to refuse, but when he thought that there were still some things he wanted to ask, he responded with a smile:
"Then I'll go with my cousin."
"Okay." Xu Yingyu smiled, her eyes were bent, and she was in a good mood and didn't think so badly, especially when she saw her daughter, she seemed to be a little happier...
said that he would not be delayed, and said goodbye to his mother, Feng Chujiu was taken out of the house by Shen Mu and went directly to the downtown area.
Downtown is also a feature of the capital, when night falls, the palace gate is closed, but the city begins to be lively, full of small traders buying and selling small objects, so lively...
